In my life, I’ve seen far more damage done by people who drink alcohol on a regular basis than those that smoke weed on a regular basis. I’ve yet to come across convincing arguments for the continuing ban on marijuana.

that's because smoking weed and its affects are not as LOUD as those of alcohol, but just as dangerous, maybe more so...

you can have Dr high on weed come into the surgery and not suspect anything but have him take one drink, he's ushered out the door...

no one coming into the ER gets tested after an accident for weed...but even a slight smell will get you tested for alcohol usually...

It would stand to reason...since alcohol has been legal for decades, and pot hasn't.

Legalize pot...and you will see over time the effects...and damage.

I’m old and have seen long term regular/daily drug use of all kinds. All damage the person. Some are faster than others, some work on the body first, some on the personality, some on the soul.

All provide a false reward and/or an escape from reality that ultimately leads to a very unhappy life for the user and anyone who cares for them. There is a high cost to the user and to the society.
